[Ryujin]

The Turkish couple from Germany, who founded the medical company Biontech, has released the COVID vaccine along with its American partner Pfizer.

A vaccine jointly developed by Pfizer and BioNTech has 90 percent effectiveness in preventing Covid-19 infections in ongoing Phase 3 trials, the companies have announced.

BioNTech Chief Executive Ugur Sahin, 55, now figures among the 100 richest Germans, together with his wife and fellow board member Ozlem Tureci, 53, according to weekly Welt am Sonntag.

A big gift to the whole world from a great family raised with Kemalist values... Ugur Sahin at his home decorated with pictures of Ataturk.

The diaspora in Germany and France is shit. Many Turks hate them. They're mostly illiterate assholes who rejoice the Turkish lira losing value so they buy property here and take a holiday with low money.

What happened?

+1 Hahahahahaha yes

I hate this double standards. Turks should not complain about others if they are bashed, they are the biggest (self)haters and deniers. Those who do that don’t deserve any respect and to be called „Turk“...

“NE OLDU RYUJİN?”

[Smeagol]

Really great. Too bad our leaders have already informed us that even with a vaccine, nothing will change. Prepare to be locked down for years to come.

I've read Moderna's vaccine is better (95% effective)

[Seya]

why didn't turkey buy these vaccine instead of the chinese one? or it takes longer to develop on large scale?

These guys will do us a favor by giving us 1 million doses first but of course they are not enough. Chinese are producing those doses like crazy and they are cheaper.

Apparently Brazil's Jolsonaro said they will not take those Chinese vaccines, as opposed to the mayor of Sao Paolo who wants to take them. I'm not sure if I should use these vaccines or just wait for Pfizer.

What about Romania? have you ordered any amount of vaccines?

Ensure Covid-19 vaccines are halal, says Pahang Mufti

PETALING JAYA: Pahang mufti Abdul Rahman Osman hopes the much spoken about Covid-19 vaccine will be halal to ensure peace of mind among Muslims.

He said while the utmost importance in Islamic law was to save lives, health authorities must ensure the vaccine was free from items deemed to be forbidden by the religion.

“We must ensure that it is halal. If there are no forbidden items in the vaccines, as per shariah laws, it should not harm anyone. If this is fulfilled, there will be no objections,” he told FMT.

Rahman was responding to comments by netizens on Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin’s social media account where they raised questions regarding the vaccine’s halal status.

Former deputy health minister Dr Lee Boon Chye said the halal concerns would be addressed by the health ministry, with advice from the National Fatwa Council.

“The ministry would first and foremost evaluate the vaccine in terms of efficacy and safety. It must be said in order to return to normal life, vaccines are the best way forward.”

Putrajaya had recently said it would make advance bookings for the vaccine through its participation in the Covid-19 Vaccine Global Access initiative, with an estimated cost of over RM3 billion.

Khairy, who is co-chair of the government’s vaccine supplies committee, said the allocation would be able to immunise 70% of the country’s population next year.

He had said vaccines would come as early as the first quarter of next year, with medical workers the priority to receive them.

As for the halal issue, Khairy had urged for more explanatory sessions for the people and assured that the vaccines would be vetted and approved by the Malaysian Islamic Development Department or Jakim.
